SHARE focus group considers online orientation program

Princeton?s Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources and Education program hosted a session of focus groups on April 2 to get student feedback on a new online orientation program about sexual harassment and prevention for incoming students. SHARE director Jacqueline Deitch-Stackhouse said the focus groups were part of a partnership between the SHARE office and the Equal Opportunity Programs office, run by director Cheri Lawson. Much like the current AlcoholEdu program that all students must complete before arriving on campus freshman year, the SHARE program would educate students about sexual assault issues. The focus group was held in order to get student feedback on whether the program would be effective and which out of three potential programs were the best. ?There are two major factors to consider,? Deitch-Stackhouse said.
